Bismillah Cafe

Oh I can’t wait too Too Get too Houston Houston Texas and come back too Bismillah Café and Restaurant on the 11^th or 12 of next month definitely can’t wait too have the tawa Keema beef and the spicy ten ten burger and so much more on the menu their food is amazing #Houston #HoustonTexas Their bun kabobs are so good too

Best pizza in town. Chicken wings are also good.
I liked pretty much everything I have tried so far.
Samosa are average but still good. I have to try halwa puri.

This place serves up some interesting Indian-​American fusion with very reasonable prices, but is maybe a little too heavy-​handed with the sauces.
The 10 spice chicken wings were served swimming in sauce. The sauce was good – acidic, quite spicy, and a little sweet, with many layers of flavor. The chicken was covered with a pretty thick breading that was still somewhat crispy after being submerged in sauce. However, it seemed like the chicken was just a vehicle for the thick, potent sauce. This is some heavy stuff: I ate 4 wings (plus some fries) for lunch, and I still was full by dinnertime.
The animal-​style fries are a twist on the In-​n-​Out fries with the same name. The fries themselves weren’t so great, a little soggy, but the sauce was good – sweet, sour, and creamy like In-​n-​Out special sauce, but enhanced with spices. However, the sauce to fries ratio was too high (a rarity when it comes to loaded fries), and the intense flavors and fattiness of the sauce became too overwhelming after a while.
Counter service is very efficient and reasonably friendly.

One of the most underrated places in Houston. Best Chaat/​Bun Kabob. And the burgers are on a different level. Huge and very creative. Owner has a passion for food and truly experiments with new things and is always encouraging customers to try the new items on the menu.

Probably the best Club Sandwhich in town… Bun Kabob was OK not the best …

I love this place! Every time I go, I get the Dahi puri and Ten chicken sandwich with animal style fries. The flavor of everything is always on point! Great and quick service

Where do I begin? This place is a gem in Houston. It is hard to get better than this place.
After frequenting here so often the owner and staff have became my family. Anything you can think of, ask the owner and he will whip it up for you.
P. S.- Try the Donut burger

We ordered dahi puri and bhel puri… was really disappointed. It was way too spicy for someone who actually loves average spicy food.
Dahi puri was not crispy, it was soft and made it impossible to pick it up with hands. For $ 4, there were 6 puris, if only they hadn’t put that much chilli powder on top, it would’ve been okay despite the crispy puri.
Bhel puri was gross… no form of liquid like sweet sauce so we had to request sweet yogurt on it. For 5 $, bhel puri was not worth it. Just had warm chickpeas, few chunks of potatoes, some crunchy stuff (bhel), and red super spicy inedible sauce. We couldn’t eat it, so we had to request if they can add sweet yogurt on top. Which made it okay to eat. Would not order it again.
If I go there next time, I will try their bun kabab that most people rave about instead.

Best chaat in houston bun kabab rolls Pizza everything is sooo goood prices are very reasonable love going there! And club sandwich is almost like the karachi one.

I have been going there for the past 2 + years for the Chaat mainly.
Unfortunately, the last two times over the course of 6 – 8 months, it hasn’t quiet worked for me
I noticed a lack of quality and interest in the papri chaat. More specifically I noticed that they no longer bother to actually chop the cilantro, so you get the whole entire big leaves and not as much spread evenly. They no longer put the dahi-​bara (yogurt-​soaked fritters) in the papri chaat, so the flavor and text is gone. They no longer even have sliced chilli peppers in the papri chaat. Or the blend of spices on the top.
Now, for $ 5.50 You just get some chick peas, a few leaves of cilantro, little bit green chutney or tamarind chutney sauce in watery liquidly stuff. No yogurt, no dahi-​bara and no mix of spices. Not enough chopped cilantro or sliced chillis.
The last time I went there, owner took my order as he was on the cash register. Then proceeded to make my chaat, using HIS FINGERS (no gloves, no nothing) to touch the papri and putting in my chaat. I felt truly disgusted at this violation of food and safety. When I came back and told him, he just went back and put new papri but NO SORRY, no NOTHING! NO remorse.
I really wish the service and attention to detail and love of the art of making a perfect papri chaat was there.

Great burgers and fries. Definitely will be coming back with a few friends. The staff was nice and love the cultural difference. Cheers to this sweet spot.

Best Pakistani fast food in town. End of story.
Ok so if I had to continue the story I would say try their chaat, garlic mayo fries and buffalo chicken sandwich and you have had it all in Houston.
What’s amazing is (mashAllah) they are always consistent with taste. Great job guys !!

If you like a very spicy mix of american and pakistani, this is the place for you. The burger was spicy and tasted a bite like a Biryani burger, the samosa was very good (they only had potato). The guy behind the counter was nice and explained what was what when we asked about what was on the burger and the like.
It was certainly interesting and I love spicy hot so that was a plus. Give it a try if you are looking for something tasty, spicy and different.

Wow this place should be in every corner of town just like MACDONALD. If you haven’t had their HUNTER BEEF PIZZA, SPICY CHEESE FRIES AND TEN SPICY WINGS then you haven’t had the best of Houston Food yet. BUN KABOB will be in my menu for next visit.

The food is amazing! I love their somosas! The chicken was great. The owner was so sweet as well! I ordered their tan chicken and if you go please get it!!! It’s so delightful in so many ways! It’s a tad bit spicy & so flavorful!

Best chaat, best burgers spicy and juicy ! we went on a saturday evening and it was pretty crowded with lots of people .food is downright delicious and theyll make it how you want and how much spice you can take :.so be ware it might be too hot for your palette! having said that we ordered the most popular ten chicken spicy sandwich and grilled chicken burger with papri chaat and cheese fries! absolutely delicious omg the burger was juicy and the sauce i dunno what it was but it was out of this world. yummm!best grilled chicken burger i have had and the fries had a nice spicy kick to it with a flavourful masala. papri chaat was delicious too .my mouth is watering now thinking about the food!! cant wait to revisit and try their other dishes! dont miss this place peeople!

If you ever want a taste of Pakistans street food, i highly, totally and a 100% recommend Bismillah Café. The papri chaat, the bun kabab, the paani puri, the meethi puri… Where do I stop?
After reading a few reviews here, I am now going to try everything on their menu over the next few months. My absolute favorite thing here is to sip on the paani from the paani puri! It brings back some good memories of Pakistan :)
Great food, great service!
Thank you Bismillah for being here.

Their brunch menu is alright. Their paratha and beef seekh kabob roll was super delicious!!! Saucy, tasty, and spicy! Definitely come back for those rolls.

These dudes get a lot of love in the press. So I came for the full «blogger» experience.
10 spice chicken wings? The sandwich version?
I actually went with their «burger» option. The owner hooked me up with some white death… I mean mayo garlic fries. Luckily he didn’t tell me what they were when he offered them.
The burger was made of minced beef, garlic, cilantro?, and other herbs and spices. Topped typically with a «zesty» sauce, emphasis on Zest.
The «animal» style french fries were covered in some magical tasting sauce…
All in all, a very spicy lunch.
It was cold as death in the spot though. The heat from the food made up for some of it, but if you’re bringing your sweetie, grab the pre-cologne’d jacket you keep in the trunk.
The other interesting thing on this particular visit was the smooth brougham that rolled up in his 599 Ferrari. Even international jet-​setters need samosas.

THEY HAVE TOTS! YES, THEY GOTS TOTS!
Their Hunter beef sandwich had been on my mind for weeks now so for lunch last week I indulged, and was NOT disappointed.
Its more of a sub than a Sammy, and the hoagie they toast up to serve it on is delish! Essentially its a spicy shredded brisket sub with spicy sauces and crisp lettuce and onions. Next time I’m not getting the sauce cuz it raised the heat level too high, the meat is spicy as it is.
The surprise of the afternoon was that he offered me a dessert that looked intriguing and I forgot to ask me its name. But its simply a savory paratha folded over with sweet cream cheese folded inside, and dusted with cinnamon powder. But when I tell u the contrast of flavors explodes all your palate, its like a nuclear reaction. I must admit the creamcheese was a bit too sweet, perhaps a lighter version may sit better with my overly enthusiastic tastebuds?
